Customer with A8V-VM board asked me to upgrade mobo: I've basically taken his PC apart and rebuilt with Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H mobo and 4x1GB Crucial DDR2 800MHz RAM sticks, AMD 64x2 4800+ 2.5GHz CPU. I've got as far as powering up and testing POST = OK. I'm not too sure about the following scenario though: The board has ATI Radeon onboard graphics but I'm hoping to run the PCIe nVidia t/c graphics card from his A8V-VM . - Is this wise or does anyone forsee problems in doing so? Would I be better off just sticking to the onboard graphics for now?

Don't see why you should have problems, usually a separate card will be quicker than on board graphics (unless it's very low spec). I guess it depends what the customer will use the box for.

4GB peanuts :-)

I have 8GB on this box running XP Pro x64.
